I was asked to submit an image for a collection of art work for a friend’s art magazine. The theme was very open ended, the idea being women and science fiction. A blank piece of paper might as well be a mountain. I had no idea what to make. Now, if you and I sit…
The Descendents saved my life. When I was a fat kid and super nerd in high school, like many fat kid super nerds, I used to get really depressed. I had my little chubby heart broken a few times and definitely wanted to throw in the towel on occasion. Fortunately, I found the Descendents, or…
Early this year I was asked by Giant Robot to participate in a group show titled “Year of the Rabbit”.

Sweet gig from Nylon Guys: Create a portrait of Lemmy Kilmister from Motorhead for his new documentary, “Lemmy: 49% Motherfucker, 51% Son of a Bitch”. Now I figure, not only am I going to make a sweet picture of Lemmy, but I’m also going have a bunch of people see that it is in fact…
In a strange flash flood of opportunity I’ve gotten a nice wave of work to come my way. It all started one morning with an email from Wired Magazine to do a three panel comic for a pre-scripted dialog having something to do with a puzzle. Then a couple of days later I was contacted…
Hello to all of my millions and billions of followers. Lord Awesome has returned with lavish bounty. Okay, well maybe not millions of billions, or any lavish bounty… but I’m still Lord Awesome!
